The Queen is not here for your Shetland shenanigans!

I love this video. Real horse people like the Queen love them but absolutely don’t take any crap from equines, be they Shire or Shetland. And ponies are the Calvins* of the horse world: they will absolutely take advantage if they can find a way.

Watch this dolled-up pony lose his best behaviour manners when he spies the Queen’s (expensive-looking) bouquet. Kudos to the pony’s handler for not completely collapsing in hysterical laughter.

*as in Calvin and Hobbes. Grade quarter horses are the Hobbeses of the horse world.
